Chapter XVII
Bang!Bang!Bang!ββ
With the sound of three dull hammers, the door to the conference room closed with a thud. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info At this point, a meeting called 'Heresy' gradually began.
"First of all, before the meeting officially begins, I would like to read a few reports to you, please be quiet. β
Nibi Reis put on a sound amplification spell when he spoke, so that even if he spoke quietly, his voice could reach the ears of everyone present. For the next key speech, Reis suddenly felt a little nervous. In order to achieve his goals, Lacey started as a small member of the Ministry of Magic and then rose to the position of minister, during which time he has struggled for more than ten years.
From a hot-blooded teenager to a middle-aged man with a calm temperament, Lacey has given too much in most of his life. But since he has paid, then God will definitely give him a harvest! And today's meeting is also the first step before he begins to 'harvest'!
"Hu ......" first took a deep breath and adjusted the emotions in his heart, and then, Reis opened the information file in his hand and began to read with emotion: "On August 28, 1915, during the First World War, when our British and New Zealand troops were deployed in the Keribori area of Turkey, a team of about 800 people of our army was moving to a high ground during the day. β
"That's right, after the incident, this troop of about eight hundred men mysteriously disappeared into a cloud of fog in the mountains, and no one has seen a single member of this troop since. I won't say much about the repercussions of this incident at that time, and even Prime Minister Churchill was shocked by it! Of course, this disappeared force of 800 people was finally found by our Ministry of Magic's investigation team. β
"It's just a pity that all that was found was their corpses. And the place where they were found was in a basin not far from the mountain forest where they had disappeared. As the murderer of this horrific murder, I think some of you already know about it, yes! The murderers are a bunch of ogres! They are an ugly, imbecile, murderous, violent, disgusting race!"
Reis frowned coldly as he told the truth, and the information in his hand gently flipped to the next page.
"The result of dealing with this matter is very simple, our Ministry of Magic avenged the soldiers who were victimized and sent those ogres to hell!"
"Yay!β"
"Well done Minister!"
"Disgusting monsters should be killed!"
Lacey raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to control the scene and not make noise.
"Alright, okay, please be quiet...... Let's move on. β
Seeing that the commotion slowly subsided, Reis continued to look down at the information and read: "In fact, in our world, there are many evil dark creatures that have always hated us humans, and they are lurking all over the world, and they are concerned and suppressed by the magical and spiritual circles of various countries. However, during the period from the beginning of World War I to the end of World War II, because of the war, our Western Magical Circles and Eastern Cultivation Circles paid much attention to and suppressed them as much as before, so ......"
"On April 3, 1916, the Finnish wizarding community issued a notice that a large number of ghouls attacked several villages, killing a total of 328 ordinary civilians. β
"On June 2, 1917, the Norwegian wizarding community announced a large-scale sea monster invasion in the Geirangerfjord, destroying villages along the way and killing a total of 1,372 civilians. β
"On September 28, 1919, the French wizarding community issued a notice that hundreds of undead skeletons poured out of the underground collapse of the Bastille ruins, and the number of casualties was later ascertained, 482 people. β
"On January 9, 1922, the wizarding circles of Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary jointly issued a major announcement that the stone giants in the Western Carpathians had repeatedly broken out of the stone giants and inexplicably attacked cities and villages to destroy them. After investigating the number of casualties, it was learned that more than 13,000 civilians had died in the Three Kingdoms, and the magical forces of the Three Kingdoms had also suffered a heavy blow. β
"On September 16, 1938, the Russian Orthodox Church issued a notice that a group of frogmen had appeared in the sea in Poland, and they had landed on the Neva River through the Gulf of Finland. In the aftermath, the total number of casualties was 578, of which one-third of the children were dead. β
"I still have a lot of information here to collect from the massive invasions of evil creatures that have taken place around the world since the beginning of World War I. β
Reis said, gently picking up the stack of materials he had prepared, which was almost fist-thick, and placing it on the table, and paused. Afterwards, Lacey did not continue to read the materials he had prepared, but spoke freely: "According to my incomplete statistics, from the beginning of the 20th century until now! There have been more and more incidents of evil creatures attacking human beings frequently, and I have made a preliminary calculation, until today, there have been one hundred and thirty-six incidents in our own Britain alone!"
"In dealing with the invasion of these monsters, do you know how many of our fellow British wizarding people have paid with their lives!?" said Lacey, pausing deliberately and then adding, "Eighteen thousand! I can tell you very clearly, this number should be eighteen thousand six hundred and ninety-two! Of these...... There is my father. β
The topic suddenly became serious, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more oppressive and heavy. Some of the female members who were fragile in their hearts couldn't help but start to choke quietly. And many of the male members who had also lost their parents, relatives and friends for this incident also lowered their heads one by one and clenched their fists.
"When I was four years old, my father, Argyle, went on a mission to deal with the mysterious death of a cow or sheep on a farm and never returned. Later, when I grew up and went to investigate, I found out that there was a wounded demon hiding on that farm!" Reis poured out his life in a sad tone.
"I vividly remember that I was eighteen years old, and I was a newcomer to the Ministry of Magic. At that time, I was still young and enthusiastic, and I was a hairy boy who was not afraid of anything. When I learned the cause of my father's death, I went to the now abandoned farm with a lot of anger, and planned to kill the demon hiding inside to avenge my hatred. Lacey said, suddenly with tears in his eyes.
He almost choked up and said, "I'm too young, too naΓ―ve, and too self-righteous...... I didn't succeed in killing the demon, but it followed me back home and brutally dismembered my mother...... If it weren't for an Auror who happened to pass by and save me, I wouldn't be standing here and talking to you all now. β
In this heavy meeting, the fragile hearts of young people are rarely able to withstand it, not even those young Aurors. In this meeting, the expressions that have always remained unchanged have always been maintained, and the only ones who have experienced ups and downs are those who have experienced ups and downs.
Slowly, Lacey turned the topic more and more to a certain extreme, and he almost stirred up the fire in the hearts of all the young people present. Stan, who had been silent in his seat, suddenly spoke: "Enough is enough!"
ββ¦β¦ May I ask Team Leader Stan, what are you trying to stop me for?"
Stan suddenly got up from his seat, he walked to the front of the stage with a smile on his face, turned sideways and put the corner of his eye on Lacey's body and said: "Of course, there have been more and more attacks by evil creatures in recent years, I won't deny it, but you just say that the surface phenomenon of their attacks on humans has always hidden the facts behind it. Lacey, I know that you have long refused to let go of the fact that your family was killed by the devil, but the past is in the past, and the demon who killed your family has finally been brought to justice. β
"Lacey, it's time for you to let go of it all and stop being angry with other creatures with hatred like this. The world is not as dark as you think, every creature living in this world is trying to survive, and nothing can be judged on the basis of one-sidedness! Also, I told you, hatred is a curse, stop driving yourself to a dead end, turn back!"
Reis looked at Stan a little stunned, and after a small sound, Reis smiled happily and said, "Hehehe, Team Leader Sdan, I think you must have misunderstood me something." In that case, let's just make it clear that the theme of this meeting is not to provoke confrontation between everyone and evil creatures, but to promulgate ...... two new bills for you, the 'Dark Creatures Management Law' and the 'Dark Creatures Punishment Law'!"
Reis said, waving his hands like a conductor of an orchestra. Immediately after, the white and black notepads suddenly fell neatly from the illusory ceiling of the conference room to the tables in front of everyone present in the conference room, like two swimming dragons.
"The Dark Creatures Management Law, I call it the Protection Law, and I, Nibi Reis, and the eight directors of the Ministry of Magic, have jointly signed the new law!"
"And the Dark Creature Punishment Law, which I call the Enforcement Law, is also a new law introduced by me Nibi Reis himself and the eight Directors. Lacey picked up the two new bills, one black and one white, on the table and said: "I have a clear provision in the white protection law, that is, from now on, all dark creatures in the whole of the United Kingdom must go to the nearest magical department to obtain a new identity certificate, and clearly fill in the personal information for archival processing." β
"I also have a clear provision in the black enforcement law, that is...... Any dark creature that dares to disobey the provisions of the protection law may be dealt with in three ways, depending on the situation, the first is a warning. The second time, he was imprisoned. The third time, kill on the spot!!"
After listening to this information, Stan analyzed it slightly, and his heart suddenly flooded with monstrous waves! Stan began to understand what Reis was thinking......
"Lacey, you!"
On Lacey's gloomy face, it seems that the ice slag can fall from the cold at this time!
